During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo revealed three new amiibo for The Legend of Zelda series along with a release date for Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta amiibo, the final characters added to Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS as DLC.

Majora’s Mask Link, Twilight Princess Link, and Skyward Sword Link are new additions for The Legend of Zelda 30th anniversary series. Nintendo said the toys-to-life figures will be released on June 23. Each amiibo is modeled after key art used in their respective Zelda game.

The three new Zelda amiibo

The new Zelda amiibo may give players the chance to unlock additional in–game costumes for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, more specifically gear modeled after the Great Deity, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword outfits. The official Breath of the Wild guide published by Piggyback outed that this gear could be "unlocked by the corresponding amiibo," but it did not specify which ones would work. It’s also important to note that the Gear of Twilight set can be unlocked with the Smash series Link amiibo, but it is not typically available in stores.

Corrin, Bayonetta, and Cloud, amiibo will be based off of the art used in for the Smash Wii U/3DS DLC characters, and they will be available on July 21. Nintendo said it would offer two costumes choices for each amiibo. Cloud will sport his default Final Fantasy VII outfit and one modeled after the one he wore in FFVII: Advent Children. The Corrin amiiibo will have a male and female version. And, finally, Bayonetta will have two outfit modeled after her costumes in the original Bayonetta and the Wii U sequel.

The final Smash Bros. series amiibo

The release of Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta amiibo for the Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS this July will end a 19-month waiting period (584 days!) for fans. The company announced the development of Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta amiibo when the trio were revealed as the final Smash Wii U/3DS DLC characters back in December 2015.
